Approximately 45 mins. The capital of the Dordogne a gracious blend of ancient and modern. Originally two cities, one ecclesiastical and one mercantile. The oldest remains to be seen today are the Gallo-Roman tower, the Tour de Vesone, and the excavations of a village of the same era, in a new museum called Vesunna. The main shopping area is a warren of cobbled alleys lined with boutiques, summer buskers and magnificent Renaissance houses. This pedestrian area with its shady squares and café terraces is a marvellous venue for open air events.
